I think it’s finally safe to say the words…IT’S SPRING!! The beautiful sunshine and warm/hot temps are here for good now!! Yippee!!!! We have all been waiting for this! Especially all of us that work outside, and really don’t enjoy the whole “April showers” thing! Anyways- cheers! With that being said, I’ve been SWAMPED with sessions!! Gorgeous families and kiddies and landscapes, oh my. I hate to hold out sharing with all of you, so in no great order- here are a few moments I’ve gathered this month! (below)

Lastly- when I emotionally can handle it, I will share with you all lots and lots of incredible images & memories of my favorite best buddy that passed away a week ago. Cooper was almost 14 years old and we had to say goodbye. He was the most loved and adored french bulldog on the earth. I am 100% sure I’ll never get over him (yes, tears flowing fast even now as I type this) but I hope soon I can honor him on here so you all get a little taste of how special he was to us.

So as you all have noticed…blogging hasn’t been on the top of my list lately. Like for the past 8 months actually. eek! Which also means my itty bitty baby is 8 months old already! Where do the days go?! I have so much to share and post that I really don’t know where to begin. hmmm. Our crazy family has been bouncing off the walls and trees (as usual) and we haven’t had one moment to consider even a thought of boredom. I have been doing tons and tons of sessions all over the city and I’m loving all the gorgeous families and babies! I even had a chance to sneak in a couple camping trips and a fun commercial photo shoot on the beach for the fabulous Shades Kids in Florida! In between all the chaos my camera broke. That was not fun. Nikon took her in and gave her a lot of love…so we are together again! whew! Ohhh and our home is under contract and we are moving in just a few weeks to a new home in Davidson! Oh no big deal. Just packing up a house full of crazies and all their belongings. 🙂

I am going to do my very best to update you guys more often and keep you up to date on our move too! Say a little prayer. Hopefully I will survive the move and the beginning of school! Enjoy these gorgeous people. and all their love stories.

I’m skipping around today with my sessions and had to blog this gorgeous family that I got to hang with last week! The Knag family is drop dead fabulous. And even better on the inside. I would choose to photograph them every week if I could. Seriously. We did nothing but laugh and chat…and well take a few photos. We met up in the NODA area of Charlotte and just played around the city streets! I could share 100 of their images and never get tired of their beautiful faces! Their three girls have become such little ladies over the years and are such a joy to photograph. I’d have to say good parenting 101 is happening there! I feel lucky and honored to share this family with you all!!

ps- I am pretty sure these girls should all be full time child models. just sayin’ ❤

I will never forget the day {actually the exact moment} when my best friend & college roommate called me to tell me she was pregnant…I never would have imagined that 6 years later I would be photographing this beautiful blessing completely awestruck. Braelyn entered this world with me in the room next door and I am quite sure I had about the same amount of sleep as her mother, but my world was changed forever. I knew I would love this lil angel as if she were my own, and I did. I do. Braelyn Grace is a photographer’s dream. She is not only the most stunningly beautiful child I have ever seen, she is just as sweet, kind, & brilliant. She is a precious jewel. I would photograph her every day if I had her close by. In other words, she will leave you speechless and wondering why she isn’t famous yet.

Sweet Sophia is already 9 months old, and more stunning every time I see her. It was so so cold on the day of her session, so most of our pics were indoors. (happy faces for all of us!) She is so so cute, I could just squeeze her! Enjoy!

Well my title for this session is off a little bit…but this is how I remember these pretty ladies- as the Knox girls!! I grew up with Ashley and Lauren– and now they’re married and Ashley has a little pumpkin man, baby Kellen (6 months). Their gorgeous mom hasn’t aged a day since we first met, and as you’ll be able to see- her daughter’s got that same beauty as well!! We had a blast running around the fields and cracking jokes. Good luck figuring out which one is Susan, their pretty Mom…she blends in like a 28 year old!!! Enjoy!!!
